Thought Leader Series – Vaughan Rowsell – How is the internet changing the retail landscape?

The Kiwi Landing Pad is a platform for New Zealand technology companies to Land and Expand into the US market. It’s a way to hit the ground running from day one, literally jump off the plane, grab a desk and some wifi and get to work doing what you do best – growing your business. In our 4th year of running, we thought we’d get some of our successful and up and coming entrepreneurs to share their journeys and talk about the value of having access to a place like the Kiwi Landing Pad. Our community is all about knowledge sharing and giving back.

Making sense of the online world is difficult because there is so much to it. In retail, the focus has been how the internet is revolutionising business. The internet is having a huge impact on retail in the form of ecommerce, and now that the focus is on mobile. It’s important for all retailers to include both web and mobile aspects into their business models. In the next 20 years and beyond, mobile will be disrupted by something else, who knows, it could be wearable technology.
